Anne Archer + Farley || Historic Kentucky Home

With the bride’s family antebellum home as a backdrop, the couple’s dream of an outdoor ceremony was put on hold when severe storms rolled in. The ceremony was moved in to the newly restored interior of the 1842 home and they were married in the same room as many generations before them had done. Fun fact: there’s a sideboard in that room that has all the wedding photos of past relatives who got married there.

There was a perfect break in the weather that allowed guests to enjoy cocktail hour on the grounds before another line rolled as guests were seated for dinner. Happy Menocal created custom Derby winner watercolors for the tables including 2016 Derby winner Nyquist for the head table. Fun fact number two: Nyqvist held a special place for the bride as her family’s thoroughbred business owns Nyquists’ mother!

The Sperry tent was adorned with hanging greenery, loose organic flowers and the place settings incorporated traditional battenburg lace napkins and traditional place settings with cut crystal glassware. Guests enjoyed a plated dinner from Dupree Catering, and the 6′ tall wedding cake from Martine’s was a statement piece in the tent. Throughout the spells of rain an storms, the guests danced the night away and the couple left the reception through a sparkler exit.

99% of the vendors who worked together seamlessly to create this stunner also happen to be Baubles & Bowties preferred vendors. When you work with an amazing team of vendors, you are guaranteed a flawless event. Rain or shine.
